Four Hezbollah members have been indicted by the UN-backed court for the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri. However, the Shia group strongly denied the charges and refuses to cooperate with the court. Meanwhile, Mikati has repeatedly voiced Lebanon’s commitment to the tribunal.
Lebanon contributes 49 percent of the STL’s annual funding.
